The global metal recycling market size was USD 217.0 Billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 368.7 Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.2% from 2021 to 2030. The conducive government initiatives for recycling scrap metal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions are expected to fuel the growth of the metal recycling market during the forecast period. The growing construction industry has resulted in more buildings thereby leading to the disposal of building waste into landfills. These wastages will significantly boost the growth of the market in the coming years.
However, the unorganized flow of waste metals and less penetration of scrap collection zones will restrict the market growth during the forecast period.
The rapid pace of industrialization
The booming urbanization has accelerated the global economy. The pace at which the developed and developing economies are moving towards industrialization is exponential. The rising commercial, residential projects, and growing income levels have created a huge demand for the scrap metal industry. Metal recyclers free up construction and industrial spaces from piles of metal waste. Moreover, they are reusable and can be recycled again and again. These factors will propel the growth of the metal recycling market in the upcoming years.
Government policies
The growing population growth has led to environmental degradation due to excessive consumption and waste disposal. Government authorities around the world are enacting policies to improve recycling efficiency and tackle environmental problems such as greenhouse gas emissions. This is done by eliminating waste dumping through scrap metal recycling. This will propel the growth of the metal recycling market during the forecast period.
Constructive industry
The construction industry is expanding at a rapid rate. The need for clearing piles of metal wastes from construction sites has augmented the need for scrap recyclers. Recycling provides huge benefits such as it ensures on-site safety, enhancing the environment, and provides extra income to people involved in the buying and selling of waste metals. Thus the growing construction activities will surge the growth of the metal recycling market in the subsequent years.
Unorganized sector and less presence of collection zones
The scrap metal industry will suffer due to unorganized dumping, recycling, and flow of waste metal materials. Moreover, the lesser number of scrap collection zones will further hamper the industry penetration. These factors will restrict the metal recycling market expansion during the forecast period.
Based on scrap type, the old scrap type segment is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for growth in the metal recycling market share and will grow at a CAGR of 6.0%.
Based on metal type, the ferrous segment is expected to provide immense opportunities for growth in the metal recycling market share and will grow at 7.4% CAGR.
Based on end-user, the automotive segment will provide lucrative opportunities for growth in the metal recycling market share. While the electronics and equipment segment will grow the fastest.
Based on region, the Asia-pacific segment will grow at a CAGR of 45.5% during the forecast period.
